A lot of very Conspiratorially-aware people make mistakes because they think that the abuse only takes place in this world. See you next month I hope.

By the way the reptiles love all this massacre going on in the world. Not all mediums want pay for their work,and work behind the scenes that is why they are also under attack.nightavishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z64DlXU3MYY&feature=channel_video_titlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954399895702774449.post-65022522645392806482011-08-31T19:01:11.491+01:002011-08-31T19:01:11.491+01:00Hi John.

I have too. <br /><br />you're right in that I was giving much benefit of the doubt in my statements on YouTube, perhaps more than I should have. Most scientists who experess opinions on the falshood of psychics have never studied the subject at all. Some get involved in a handful of ghost-hunts and Zener Card-readings and then claim that they'd "devoted their lives" to uncovering something that they eventually faced up to the fact didn't exist. As I said, there are very deep and powerful political reasons why the sceintific norm takes this stance.<br /><br />You do realize now that I can't award you the MBA! :-)Ben Emlyn-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858990047274822000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954399895702774449.post-50704224413898962102011-08-30T10:40:57.192+01:002011-08-30T10:40:57.192+01:00I suggest a correction to the statement above - &q...I suggest a correction to the statement above - "Firstly the idea that mediums are all cold-reading con-artists is simply an opinion of some scientists who've studied it."<br />To this - "Firstly the idea that mediums are all cold-reading con-artists is simply an opinion of some scientists who HAVEN'T studied it."<br /><br />I'm no great spiritualist, but based on my very limited encounters with mediums, i.e. only one encounter, I have never seen any evidence of cold reading, and it is an insult to my intelligence and to the intelligence of impartial observers for sceptics to perpetuate their unsubstantiated lies and smears.<br /><br />As for my one encounter with a medium, just a month or so ago, I was particularly coy about giving any personal information whatsoever, yet was still given the name of my deceased father. It wasn't fished for, and it didn't emerge from a long list of names, the medium simply came out with the statement, "Your late father Bill is here...." This was followed by a lot of equally precise information.<br />So to any sceptic out there, your only valid argument is that mediums and/or their clients are cheats, because this is the only rational argument that stands. Any sceptic that utilises the old "fishing for information" argument is either a fool or a biased liar, and whichever of these descriptions applies, should be ignored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954399895702774449.post-37350199392489739572011-08-27T10:55:14.781+01:002011-08-27T10:55:14.781+01:00Hi Muluc.

The problem with the Skeptic Movement is that it has these delusions of grandeur that approach megalomania! If you listen to James Randi talking he sounds as if he is the ONLY psychic invetigator in the world. The only time he refers to his peers is to denounce them as these kind of wide-eyed flower-children who glide around haunted homes like Tolkienian Elves. He has a very large and dedicated army of fans who hang on his every word. I went to TAM London last year, if you saw the article, and it reminded me a bit of the Nuremburg Rallies!Ben Emlyn-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858990047274822000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954399895702774449.post-28860533615025983312011-08-27T10:51:18.133+01:002011-08-27T10:51:18.133+01:00Mister Jack, that's the alternative being gran...Mister Jack, that's the alternative being granted by the banners. It might work if the client has an understanding of the issues involved. It was used when the Fraudulent Mediums Act of 1951 was in force. This was repealled in 2008 after a long period of unuse. (However in 1943 the medium Helen Duncan was imprisoned under the 1735 Witchcraft Act to prevent her spirit contacts giving away wartime secrets!) This is a good loophole around the law. However I see this whole issue as a matter of principle and I'd fight it in court; maybe because I hve the luxury of not having to work for a living using my psychic powers!Ben Emlyn-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858990047274822000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954399895702774449.post-48129684420412478892011-08-26T18:17:45.645+01:002011-08-26T18:17:45.645+01:00Looking back over the history of science, I can...Looking back over the history of science, I can't help noticing that many widely accepted theories later turned out to be wrong, and had to be changed. In fact, that is the only way science can advance. If belief in the earlier theories had been written into law, those mistakes could never have been corrected. Do these so-called skeptics actually believe that science now knows everything there is to know, and none of it's current consensus is wrong? Wow. I think they must have science confused with a religion known as Scientism. Scientism is a belief-system. Real science isn't based on belief. There is, as you say, ample evidence for psi phenomena. But these people won't look at it, and don't want anyone else to be allowed to see it either.
